Part III

"Isn't that Rin Todo?" Sango's question broke the spell of Sesshoumaru's mocking perusal.

Kagome blinked, and managed to look away from him. She nodded slowly, taking another swallow of ice water, attempting to alleviate her discomfort. The pretty young woman with the deep auburn hair and enormous brown eyes was a renowned actress she'd seen in several movies and currently was being praised for her new talk show.

"Yes, that's her. I would have thought he didn't like them fresh from pre-school though," she wryly commented, gaining a snicker from Sango.

"Didn't think he would be up for all that yapping," Sango interjected, "she's a real motor mouth."

"You need a reservation to get the next word and sentence in."

The young women giggled at that last, both imagining the rather taciturn Sess sitting there and being bombarded with inane conversation. Abruptly, Kagome ceased laughing and looked away. Her face was flushed with displeasure, and she glanced at her watch.

Sango decided to take a look at what had offended her friend so much.

Sesshoumaru was calmly allowing Rin to feed him bits of her food as she talked incessantly. The oddest part of the entire exchange is that he continued to stare at Kagome the entire duration.

"You want to go?"

Kagome violently shook her head. "For the last time, Sango, I'm not letting him run me away." She set her glass down and stood up. "Order for me. I'm going to the ladies' room."

Sango nodded her dark eyes compassionate. She knew that Kagome's fierce independence would not allow her to "baby" her at the moment. She sighed and turned to throw a glare at Sesshoumaru who merely smirked at her in amusement.

Grrr, the man was a demon!

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart

Mmmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Kagome staggered into the ladies' room to wash her hands and to splash cold water on her face. This was not her day.

First the incident with Kouga, the cause of her problems and now Sesshoumaru tormenting her while she tried to have a nice lunch with her best friend. It was too much. What had she done to warrant this pain? How could he believe Kouga's lies?

"Oh god," she gasped, staring through the blur of tears at herself in the mirror, "if only I didn't still the bastard."

The restroom door briskly swung up and Kagome dried her face and straightened her clothing. She turned to leave and ran smack into a large broad chest. She tensed and tired to step away only to look up into piercing golden eyes.

"This is the ladies' room, asshole," she struck him in the chest. "Let me go or I will scream this place down!"

"Be still, Kagome," Sesshoumaru ordered quietly, his arms tightened around her as he began dragging her over to a nearby lounge sofa. "I'm just answering your challenge."

"I didn't challenge you!" She yelled, still fighting to get free but he was incredibly strong and unyielding. She yanked his long silken hair and he hissed, taking both of her wrists in his large hand.

He pushed her backward onto the sofa, pressing the weight of his torso into the softness of her upper body. She could feel the muscular power of his thighs as her captured her legs. The rippled steel of his chest and stomach was taut under the expensive suit. Kagome groaned as his pelvis nudged hers and the hard heat of him thrust boldly against her loins.

"Kagome," he exhaled her name, leaning forward to kiss her.

She was bombarded with countless memories of times and places in the past few months she'd heard that breathy sigh of her name escaping him in a torrent of desire. How could she resist her own yearnings no matter how torn up inside she was? Please allow me to have this brief moment…

Kagome stomped fighting him and lay still-

It felt like eternity as his mouth descended further downward. It had been forever since she'd felt the searing slide of his tongue caressing her lips, then delving inside. The satiny crush of his hair fanned over her, and his breath grew harsher as she pressed her breasts against his chest. He released her wrists and she immediately reached up to twine her arms around his neck as the kiss deepened. His strong hands grabbed her hips, and her skirt slid upward higher and higher until her upper thighs were bare. She was grinding wet center into the firm bulge of his pants and he urgently sank down into the apex of her heat.

Kagome's blouse was swiftly unbuttoned, and he released her lush breasts, his mouth drawing the turgid peaks into harder nubs as he laved and teased them with his teeth. He pushed her panties to the side, his finger touching the sodden crease and then the folds of her wetness. He massaged her with tormenting skill, and she groaned and arched her back.

"S-Sess-" she moaned as his long finger slipped inside of her, and she jerked, her passion soaring as he added another finger. He kissed her, his mouth sucking and nibbling her, and she clasped the back of his head as he unzipped and freed himself.

She could feel the hard tip of him, nudging at her seeping entrance as he pressed against her. "Uhhh…" she melted into him, grabbing his shoulders as he mind blanked out to where they were as she grew taunt with anticipation.

"Miss Todo, I love your show! You looked so pretty last week in that yellow outfit," a woman's voice was gushing from somewhere outside of the ladies' room lounge door.

"Oh, thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it," Rin Todo replied in a happy tone.

One half of the couple was oblivious to the conversation, but the other wasn't as far gone to not be aware of his surroundings. It was his fault that it had gotten so far after all.

Sesshoumaru jerked up, pulling away from her as he cursed aloud. He grabbed several tissues to clean her off and to wipe the moisture from his hands. Kagome gave him a questioning look, confused at his abrupt behavior.

"We've got company," he murmured in brief explanation, righting her clothing and helping her to sit up. Kagome was shocked at how cool he was, except for the light sheen of sweat on his temple.

He refastened his slacks with a grimace of discomfort and smoothed his shirt, tie and jacket. Kagome wanted to run her fingers through his hair but he quickly finger combed it. Before she could utter a word, the door was opening and the lovely actress was wandering inside. She froze for a moment upon spying Sess. She merely peered curiously at Kagome and then burst into a girlish laugh.

"Sess!" She rushed towards him, slapping him on the arm. "What are you doing in the ladies' room? You are acting so weird today!"

"Rin, I will wait outside," he told her without explanation for his presence. "It's almost time to leave for your photo shoot."

"Oh you are such a stickler for time, aren't you?" Rin mock frowned up at him. "I'll be out in a minute." His companion wandered over to the vanity to check her appearance.

Kagome wondered if she should make her escape now but before she could decide how to go about it-

"Are you okay?" Sesshoumaru suddenly asked Kagome who started when he addressed her. He started to advance upon her, a gleam in his amber orbs that made her shiver.

"I'm fine," she replied with a faint blush, hastily backing away from his towards the door.

"Hey Sess, you think I should change my lipstick?" Rin called out to him. "Come and see how this looks!"

Sesshoumaru shrugged in apology and went to see what she wanted. Kagome knew that it was her chance to make good. He may have been unruffled about being caught with a woman in the ladies' restroom by his lunch date but Kagome wasn't so very blasé or worldly when it came down to such matters.

She whirled on her heel and made a quick exit, even as his voice drifted behind her to her anxious ears. Now the creep had her eavesdropping!

"Rin it is fine. Please go on with your business, I'll meet you at the table," she heard him telling the actress as the door closed behind her.

"Hey who was that woman you were in here with? Did you know her? She was quite pretty, Sess."

"Rin." His tone was infused with a warning but the actress continued on despite his inflection.

"You probably scared the heck out of her, Sesshoumaru," was the last thing that she heard Rin say to him.

Outside, Kagome was shaking, her knees were knocking and her thighs were quivering. Did he think she was easy? After what had happened at her apartment how could she succumb to him in a public restroom? She was not that kind of woman, wanton and without self-respect. In fact, the only guy she'd ever had sex with had been her high school sweetheart, Hojo, and she decided to leave him once the demands of college took up too much of their time for the relationship to progress as it should.

Even sex with Hojo, had never been like this where she was so worked up and hot that it would not have mattered if Rin had actually seen everything. Didn't it matter that he had failed to trust her? Or that he was here with another woman?

Oddly enough Rin didn't appear to be his girlfriend, except for feeding him, but she was nothing like Kagura. The model had staked her claimed on Sesshoumaru and was blatantly obvious about the intimacy she shared with him. It had been astounding to Kagome when she'd learned that he had stopped seeing her shortly after they had started dating. That was why she could not understand his reaction to Kouga's lies.

This was neither the time not place for this. She had to finish he lunch with Sango and then go back to work. It was so inconsiderate of her to treat her best friend so shabbily. She must be worried by now.

I've got to pull myself together, she thought, but before she could move towards her table a strong hand was taking her by the arm. She stared up into Sesshoumaru's enigmatic countenance, her chest tightening at the cool and striking beauty of him and the lack of emotion in his eyes.

"Kagome, we need to talk," he began.

"Let go of her, you fucking louse!" Sango had stormed up and freed her friend from Sess' grip. "She doesn't need you bothering her."

Still in shock, Kagome merely stood there, as he courteously conceded to Sango's wishes.

"Very well." He peered down his perfectly aligned nose at Sango before turning his attention towards the silent woman beside her. Sango snorted derisively, with her arms folded in front. Sess whispered close to Kagome's ear, as he drifted past, "This isn't over," he stated, gracefully sauntering into the dining area and to his table.

"What did he say to you?" Sango queried with a slight frown disturbing her smooth face.

"It's okay, Sango. I can handle it," Kagome assured her as they resumed their seats. "What did you order for me?"

"The lobster pie," Sango answered while keenly studying her. "Are you going to tell me why your clothes are wrinkled?"

"No." Kagome sampled a piece of pie. She studiously refrained from looking over at Sesshoumaru who was escorting Rin to the door. But she could feel his eyes burning into her even from that distant. It was far from over. What would she do? She was angry at his audacity and his treatment but she wanted him still.

"Okay. But we only have 15 minutes left for lunch," Sango informed her.

Kagome looked up at her friend with a guilty expression. "I'm sorry I took so long."

Sango reached across the table to pat her hand. "Eat up, honey. Better you than me. When a man looks like that he is pure trouble."

Kagome continued eating and tried not to choke on her food.
